How internationals can (maybe) get Arsenal back on track

You do not need me to tell you that Arsenal have not really got going in this new Premier League season. So with Manchester United looking strong with a maximum nine points from nine and with all of the other big clubs expected to fight for the title up in the top six while Arsenal languish down in 16th spot, we really need to hit the ground running after this current international break.

Hopefully the games that a fair number of the Arsenal team will play for their national sides this fortnight will help us to do just that and they certainly should. At club level we have seen usually good Arsenal players like Granit Xhaka struggle for form and maybe they will be able to regain some of their form when playing for their country.

At the same time we have the likes of Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi who have hardly played yet this season and so getting some time out on the pitch is just what they need to sharpen them up before the Gunners get back to EPL action with a game against AFC Bournemouth next weekend.

Danny Welbeck has already scored for England and Mesut Ozil produced one of his magic assists for Germany, so if the likes of Ramsey, Giroud, Lacazette and Alexis Sanchez could do something similar or at the very least have good games, could it be just what Arsenal need to get our season going?

To me currently there’s nothing wrong with your lineup.I’m sure you’re getting thumbed because of Walcott and possibly one of Coquelin and Elneny.We have to make do with what we have.
Walcott as average as people say he is can get us about a total of 16 goals in all competitions this season when in form.Coquelin looked really good in preseason and looks to have gotten his interception ability back.Elneny has the ability to position himself in such a way that there’s always someone next to him so he can make a simple pass while possessing aggresiveness and being able to intercept.This is for now is a good lineup.It’s unfair to keep playing those who have failed while others wait.We need to get players back to form quickly.We must also bring back Wilshere who is bettrr than Ramsey and Xhaka and gets to form quickly.

We need to play 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 this season to get the best out of our players and to tactically adapt to the opposition.For 4-2-3-1 this is my preferred lineup:
Cech
Bellerin Mustafi Koscielny Kolasinac
Coquelin Wilshere
Walcott Ozil Sanchez
Lacazette

Wilshere is clearly better but then he’ll be judged on potential waiting to be realised than what he’s currently doing.Funny how everyone wanted him sold like all what we have is better than him.He’s our best CM after Cazorla and I like him because he’s also very intelligent but just very injury prone.

We should definitely revert back to a four man defense, our strength is in our midfield with a back three doesn’t give us..
When facing the big teams we would be better suited to a back five , and hit back on the counter (with a little bit of some tactical tweaks so that we won’t be as leaky as we were against Liverpool).

Yes, hopefully the players can learn something from the World Cup qualifying matches, something that is different from what is implemented in Arsenal. I wish Wenger paid attention on how his players performed in their international matches.

The Spain vs Italy match showed what is missing in Arsenal, very skillful players and a better system that can make Arsenal dictate the tempo. Spain defenders have good vision and skills, allowing them to lower the tempo and create good chances for the attackers.

The lack of skillful players in the midfield area could be rectified by getting a versatile and technically gifted player in January. I hope Wenger keep his promise on returning to Lemar in January.

ALL THESE FANS ON HERE PICKING THIS OR THAT LINE UP, WHILE NOT BOTHERING TO COMMENT ON THE FACT THAT WHATEVER LINEUP IS PUT OUT, WENGER IS STILL THERE. HE IS THE ONE TO GET RID OF FIRST, FOLLOWED BY KROENKE AND GAZIDIS. AFTER THAT, THE LINE UP WILL BE RUN BY PROFESSIONALS AND WILL LOOK AFTER ITSELF. Stop tinkering around the edges and first remove the cancer around them!

This was a good transfer period. Two excellent players capable of making an Arsenal spine, and lots of deadwood gone. Times are changing, but remember, Arsenal cannot get a Pogba or another Sanchez without a huge transfer budget.

there is one way to success and that is a new manager with fresh ideas. look at monacco and atlatico madrid they do not have a lot of money but still succeed. its not about spending money, its about having a plan. we need a top defender. i still remmember when atlatico sold aguero and then they bring falcao for 40 million, thats is suitable replacement. we sold fabregas vanpersie thierry henry veira helb and many more and we bring much less quality player. WE NEED CHANGE a manager change will shock the team and it may be positive and might succeed

Honestly I’d actually play 433 with cech in goal, rb I’d bring in dubuchy when he got injured he looked great in that game, 2 CBS I’d go kos and mustafi and lb I’d go with Monreal . In midfield I’d go kolosinic power and driving from deep he has played there before he can play cdm , and let xhaka play he’s passing game next to him ,in offensive position I’d play Ramsey and front 3 be alexis left and lacasette in middle and welbeck on right with 3 them interchanging and ya dubuchy coming in gives us experience cause bellerin has been terrible and kolosinic in mid would give us that muscle we crave??

Wenger need to work on tactic and prepare his team. Or else we might see another ala Liverpool setup bellerin in the left, ox on the right playing a trial game against his new club. Sead, lacazatte and mustafi was given a pop corn and watch the horror show. He need to out think his opponent not surprise them with another of his out of the world wonder tactic.
